Given the utter incompetence of house republicans to actually act like fiscal conservatives, I'm surprised they won any races outside of Utah (and even Utah reelected Matheson, a conservative democrat.)

The Republican party richly deserved to lose. The Democrats should restrain their glee- they did not win on the strength of their ideas, but on the incompetence of their competitors. Here's to a divided government, which is often the best possible situation for libertarian types. The only wins that really upset me are the Muslim guy in Minneapolis who supported cop killers and Kathleen Soliah, and the fact that Pelosi will be the speaker of the House. The thought of looking at that terrible, startled rictus of hers is rather off-putting.
